Animal Law 25%

I am an Animal Law Advocate. I help people who own, raise, rescue, foster or care about animals. I also help those whose pet has been harmed; whether by a someone they know or a government official such as COPS SHOOTING DOGS! I am very knowledgeable about the animal advocacy process - pulling, transporting, crossposting, fostering, rescuing, and finding forever homes. I am also zealous in holding those who harm animals responsible for their actions. I am the VOICE FOR THE VOICELESS!

Corporate and Incorporation 25%

A corporation is a formal way to organize your business to gain rights and privileges, and to limit your personal liability. There may be tax and financial advantages to incorporation, but it can also increase your business licensing fees and decrease the amount of personal control you have in running your business. There are many legal consequences to incorporation, so it's a good idea to consult an attorney specializing in corporate law. A corporate attorney also represents shareholders unhapp

Amazing!!

Kerrie has represented me for years, in some of the most important events in my life. When no one has ever fought for you or defended you and then someone does, it's one of those experiences that changes your soul. When I don't know where to turn or who to trust, she's my first phone call. She is the... smartest, most dedicated, most thorough and strategic attorney I know.

My Case

I hired Mrs. Kerrie after I had gotten myself into a bit of a bind. I was involved in a bad driving incident and the courts were attempting to charge me as a felon. As an athlete, this would have ruined my chances of playing a sport in college. It would have even been detrimental to my getting into c...ollege. I brought my case to Mrs. Kerrie and she handled it excellently. I walked away with a minor speeding ticket and no permanent marks on my record.

Superb Damage Control

I had a divorce case that had taken some bad turns, and I had started to lose faith in my previous lawyer.a mutual friend gave me Kerrie's number. She determined that many important steps had been skipped, documenrs not filed by deadlines....it seemed like a nightmare. She took all of the c...orrective action needed to get the case back on track WITHOUT "bad-mouthing" the opposing lawyer, smoothed ruffled feathers and brought the case to a decent resoution. When I think of what might have happened had I NOT retained her....well, I don't want to think about it.

Went Above & Beyond her Scope of Duties!

Ms. Kessing is a superb attorney! Not only did she do a phenomenal job representing me she was like a friend to me too. My situation was an embarrassing and precarious one and not once did I feel That Ms. Kessing judged me, in fact she was a continuous sense of comfort. Nobody else believed in my i...nnocence, not even my own friends and family, but Ms. Kessing had faith in me the entire time. Needless to say we won my case and my freedom! I don't know what I would've done if it wasn't for Ms. Kessing believing in me. My parents wanted me to add that Ms. Kessing kept them in the loop throughout my case (I signed something saying that was ok), and that they are extremely grateful for the comfort that she provided them. When she says she gives personal service she truly means it! if I ever need an attorney again, and hopefully I will not, I will definitely be calling her.

Amazing Attorney

My partner and I hired Kerrie for what we thought was a simple child support case. However, it quickly escalated to a child custody case, a TPO case and even a back child support case. The court system assigned a Guardian Ad Litem and a mediator, which is evidently standard in situations such as mi...ne. I had no idea how complex family law issues could become and how everything could spiral out of control so quickly. We are tremendously grateful we had Kerrie there by our side to guide us through our cases. She took a chaotic situation and fixed it in a way that looked effortless. However we are quite aware how much work it truly took to get all the problems resolved. Kerrie came to our home, took the time to explain everything that was going to happen and all possible outcomes. I am a worrier but even Kerrie managed to put my mind at ease. She makes herself available at all hours and on weekends too. Kerrie is an attorney who truly cares about her clients and I am recommending her to all of my family and friends who need a lawyer!!!
